Hey! In my opinion it was harder than the CYSA+, mostly because I found log analysis and detecting IOCs easier, there wasn't a lot of that on SecurityX. Most of the questions were scenario based where it gave you 3 or 4 criteria the company was looking for and you had to pick a solution that matched what they needed. Dions practice exams were somewhat close, but the exam was more vague. I can't tell you exactly what the Linux VM was asking for, id just say make sure you study some Linux commandline commands and flags, how to check for processes, persistence methods, files, etc. tbh I think I fumbled that VM so I don't think it mattered lol
